    MASS MEDIA’S IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy By Mahreen Hasan, LLB. Washington, DC April 13, 2010 MASS MEDIA’S IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN Mahreen Hasan, LLB. Thesis Advisor: Gillette Hall, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Does the growing prevalence of mass media in the developing world represent a potentially untapped opportunity to improve educational outcomes in these countries? This paper presents empirical evidence on the academic impact of children’s access to and use of media at home. Using the 2003 Learning and Educational Achievement in Punjab Schools (LEAPS) dataset and multivariate analysis, it finds that weekly hours of media use has a significant positive impact on test scores, although the overall effect of media varies according to how the variable is operationalized. This study also finds that school quality and child characteristics are important determinants of academic performance, reinforcing the findings of the LEAPS researchers (Andrabi et al 2007). For education policymakers, these results provide some support for the potential role of mass media in enhancing learning levels in developing countries. Such findings underscore the need for further research on the media-education relationship, in order to maximize the potential benefits of mass media for developing countries’ education sectors. ii I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Gillette Hall, for her invaluable guidance through the research, writing and editing process; my peer reviewers – Michael Bailey, Joydeep Roy and Andrew Rothman – for their thoughtful comments; the members of my thesis workshop – Ryan Carrington, Camille D’Andrea, Cafer Orman, Aldo Ortega, Carly Reed, Alex Solano and Jade Winfree – for their continual assistance through the year; and Asif Shah Mohammed for his constant love and support.

  • Socio-Cultural Determinants of Female Criminality in Pakistan: a Study of Punjab
    Pakistan Journal of Social Sciences (PJSS) Vol. 35, No. 2 (2015), pp. 875-890 Socio-Cultural Determinants of Female Criminality in Pakistan: A Study of Punjab Imtiaz Ahmad Warraich Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. [email protected] Muhammad Farooq, PhD Professor, Department of Pakistan Studies, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. [email protected] Abstract The current study focused on social and cultural patterns that induce and force females to indulge in criminal behavior. It also focused on those circumstances which formulate such situations in which female spoils into criminal behavior for her certain drives. Thus, formulating the core assumptive grounds, the present study focused on socio-cultural determinants of female criminality in Punjab, Pakistan. The researcher used semi structured interview schedule for data collection from 291 respondents selected through systematic random sampling out of total 875 respondents. The statistical analysis of the present study revealed that the most important and effective determinants of female criminality were social disputes, revenge, social deprivation, peer group and family culture. The multivariate canonical correlation explicitly showed that socio-cultural determinants predicted the likelihood of the occurrence of crime in females if they encounter the same socio- cultural circumstances. It was also concluded that the influence of family and peers were the major contributing factors to produce or demote female criminality in Pakistan, particularly in Punjab. Keywords: Criminality, Socio-Cultural determinants, behavior, family, peer group I. Introduction Crime has been measured as unlawful act associated with males because of their dominant nature almost in all subjects of every society (White, Haines, & Asquith, 2012).

  • Mass Media in Pakistan – MCM 304 VU ©Copyright Virtual University Of
    Mass Media in Pakistan – MCM 304 VU LESSON 01 EVOLUTION OF MASS MEDIA • The oldest mass medium is print media. Human history gives us a clue that posters, banners and pictures were first used to convey the messages. • In the 10th century handmade press was first established. Book printing was started in 15th & 16th century in Europe. • Mass Media at first faced a lot of restrictions because when mass media emerged at that time imperialism was in rule. The rulers were using Church in Europe as an authority over people to convey any message. Because Church was the only platform that was influential and was in reach of people and government. So most of the times Church was considered the first platform of Mass Medium. • The emergence of Print Media created doubts in the minds of the rulers and they took it as a threat against their rule. The rulers presumed that people would become aware of their rights and they will challenge the authority. So most of the rulers in Europe took it as a revolt and declared capital punishment for the persons involved in Mass Media. In 1663, the last capital punishment was given to a publisher because he published a book of an anonymous writer. This book contained the idea that rulers are accountable for their deeds and decisions to the masses and if any ruler does not feel himself accountable then masses have the right to overthrow his rule. This was the last capital punishment that was awarded in the history of England. • Print media could not get its full growth till the 18th century as illiteracy was the major problem in all the societies and most of the newspapers were read by the elite class because state was not responsible for the education of the masses and elites had a privilege to get private education from the arranged tutors.
